If it looked like "just another star", you most likely were not looking at the right thing. The comet does not resemble a star in any way, because there is no singular point of light. It looks more like a spotlight has been permanently left on and is reflecting off of a cloud. When you see it, it is instantly obvious that it's not a star.
I'd definitely recommend the binoculars. On 11/6/07, Deanna Schneider <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Nov 6, 2007 8:05 AM, G Money wrote: > > Got a good look at the comet last night.
